THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. RODNEY K. SMITH, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted of driving while intoxicated based upon the uncontroverted testimony of the arresting police officer, who testified that defendant had been driving erratically, that he had the odor of alcohol on his breath, that defendant's eyes were watery and bloodshot, that the pupils of his eyes were dilated, that his speech was slow and slurred, that he could not recite the alphabet or count, that defendant had difficulty removing his driver's license from his wallet, that he had admitted to having been drinking beer and that defendant could not walk a straight line, touch his index finger to his nose or tie his shoelaces. Thus, we reject defendant's contention that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction (see, People v Cole, 178 A.D.2d 1016; People v. DeBlase, 142 A.D.2d 926; People v Ottomanelli, 107 A.D.2d 212, 217, lv denied 66 N.Y.2d 617; see also, People v. Le Beau, 134 A.D.2d 929).

We have examined defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit.
